I am relocating to southern Utah due to a new job. Like many Americans, the crappy housing market is forcing me to rent a home, rather than buy, until I can get my house back in Idaho sold.
So, I found a nice place on over an acre in an area I love. I went and looked at the place with the property manager, liked the house and told the property manager to send me the rental agreement for my review.
Well, much to my surprise, in the rental agreement there is a section which states "Firearms and ammunition will not be stored on the property". I am so pizzed off right now. I sent the property manager an e-mail back telling her basically that she could get bent, that I would NEVER occupy a home that required I surrender one of my Constitutional rights.
How common is this? I've lived in military housing and my own home off-base for the last 20 years, so maybe/apparently things have changed for the worse over the years? I can't fathom why the landlord would give a damn if I have firearms in the home. And the sad thing is this home is in UTAH. I grew up in Utah, and I know it is still a solid pro-gun state.
Sorry for the lengthy rant, but I am still very unhappy about this crap. I've started looking at other places, but I just hope this isn't going to be an issue with other homes in the area as well. Friggin' disgusted right now...
